How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) help accomplish the above Intent?:
Delegates of the Optimism Token House are important participants in the Collective. Certain elements of governance process, including the ability to “endorse” proposals to go to vote, are endowed to delegates with voting power equal to or above 0.25% of total votable supply of OP.
Today, the number of delegates who have above 0.25% votable supply is tracked on a Dune dashboard, and appropriate Discord or forum permissions are granted manually. This process is both inefficient and centralized.
Instead of this manual process, the Collective should move to a record of >0.25% delegates that is onchain and consumable by the various community platforms that the Collective uses. This will help make delegate recognition more accurate, improving governance accessibility for proposers seeking delegate approvals and allowing all qualifying delegates to receive tagged notifications in Discord. It will also be less dependent on any one Optimist to maintain or update.
What is required to execute this Foundation Mission (RFP)?
A completed Mission includes the following outcomes:
- Issue an attestation for each delegate address with ≥ 0.25% of votable supply of OP using Optimism’s AttestationStation
- Regularly poll registered delegates to monitor fluctuations in voting power. Revoke the attestation of any delegate who has fallen below 0.25%, and/or issue new attestations where necessary.
- Delegates who receive this attestation should automatically get added to Attestation gated channels using [Guild.xyz](http://Guild.xyz)’s Attestation gated channel feature. This should happen automatically when Attestations get added or removed.
- Code must be MIT licensed and open source.
What milestones will help the Collective track progress towards completion of this Foundation Mission (RFP)?
- Specification for implementation, design approach, and architecture for the functionality listed above.
- Monthly progress updates on design and/or implementation.
- Open-source code repository to observe progress over time.
How should badgeholders measure impact upon completion of this Foundation Mission (RFP)?
- Governance community platforms (like Discord and Discourse) are able to consume an accurate, regularly updated source of data to understand which delegates have >0.25% voting power.
- Fewer errors, inconsistencies, or delays in updating community platforms to reflect current accurate delegate information.
- Improvement in proposer experience due to improved visibility into which delegates are able to provide approvals on proposal drafts.
